Arizona
Hey do you remember Arizona
Two brown white kids with Indian head-gear on
Lean and tan and strong
Tearing through the canyon
And didn’t no one try to tame us
Back when every rock was treasure that we’d find
I held your hand in mine
Your hand was so much smaller
Did I ever tell you why I had to run away
There’s so much I didn’t say
Cold, with the pain of growing older
When all you see is how the magic dies
Leather cracks and dries
And fades away forever
Did I ever tell you that I know I let you down
I see things different now
I see your open pale blue skies
While mine are getting clearer
See your life was just like mine
A brother like a mirror
Now how I stumble while explaining
You’re a grown-up and I’m growing all the time
Struggling to find
A place like Arizona
Did I ever tell you that I miss you every day
You just feel so far away
There’s so much I didn’t say
